By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Dakota Access, LLC can now start hauling pipe across Jasper County. A permit and road damages agreement for secondary roads use was approved by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. The agreement allows for temporary use of certain roadways throughout the Jasper County Secondary Road system to haul materials and equipment related to the construction and installation of the pipeline. Also, since the Dakota Access expects operations to generate roadway usage in excess of normal use, it is prepared to restore and repair damages done to the roads. Thousands of thirty-inch pipes to be used for the pipeline have
been stored in a farm field north east of Newton on East 76th Street North since April 2015. “This is actually an agreement that a bunch of counties got together and worked on,” county engineer Russ Stutt said. The Iowa Utilities Board gave Dakota Access — a subsidiary of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners — a green light to begin construction of the 343-mile Iowa segment of the project in an order earlier this month. The 1,164-mile pipeline will run from North Dakota to Illinois and will have a capacity of 540,000 barrels per day. But the IUB only gave the pipeline company permission to excavate in areas where all federal permits and private land easements have been obtained. The Iowa Department of Natu-
98213 00008
ral Resources recently issued the company an exception to bore underneath Native American tribal lands through the Big Sioux River Wildlife Management Area in Lyon County. The company will also have to negotiate with private landowners who still have not accepted voluntary construction and maintenance easements for the pipeline. Each county will mediate condemnation hearings between private landowners and Dakota Access. According to Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty, the first of these hearings in Jasper County is scheduled for July 21. Although, the sheriff said landowners could still choose to accept a voluntary easement and avoid the condemnation process. PIPELINE | 3A
By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A limited-edition music set is up for auction and will benefit one Class of 2017 high school graduate. A collection that includes a compact disc of music and other items commemorating Jerry Naylor’s 50 years with the Crickets will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to a specific NHS scholarship fund. Longtime rock historian and concert promoter Dennis Farland said the sets were donated by Naylor, and anyone who wants to enter a silent-auction bid can enter their name and contact information at
Mattingly Music. The auction ends shortly before Labor Day weekend, which is when the winning bid will be announced. A Class of 2017 Newton High School senior will have a chance to apply for a Winter Dance Party scholarship next spring. “It’s a really unique set,” Farland said. “It has a number of authenticity and a signature from Jerry himself.” Naylor took over as the lead vocalist of The Crickets in the early 1960s after Buddy Holly was killed in the 1959 “Day the Music Died” plane crash in Clear Lake.

Pipe hauling to begin in Jasper County
By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A rural Newton man was taken to Jasper County Jail on Friday after he allegedly pulled a gun on a woman and threatened to kill her and her son. Keith A. Line, 66, was charged with domestic abuse assault/display or use of a weapon after police said he pulled a handgun on a female family member at about 10 p.m. Friday at a home located in the 6000 block of Highway S74 South. Line A report states that a heated argument led to Line holding a “medium-sized, silver handgun” against the woman’s stomach. He threatened to go and kill the woman’s son first, then returning to kill her. The report says Line then pushed the woman into a kitchen and retreated back to another room. After Line was taken to jail on the aggravated-misdemeanor charge, he was released on Sunday after posting a $5,000 cash-orsurety bond. No court date information was available at presstime.

Submitted Photo Central Iowa bluegrass band Four Mile Creek performs at an outdoor event in Tama. The group’s banjoist Corwin “Corky” Berry of Monroe, said he’s excited to do some picking with Four Mile Creek at the Prairie City Church of the Brethren’s inaugural Pickin’ in the Pavilion Music Festival on Sunday.
Pickin’ in the Pavillion Brethren church hosts Bluegrass festival Sunday By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News Tim Peter is a bit of a picker. The Prairie City Church of the Brethren pastor plays mandolin and guitar, and it runs in the family. His daughter Rachel also plays a little six-string and sings. Special music is a big part of many worship services, and the Brethren church is no different. But the small country church, roughly five miles south of Prairie City, is about to devote an entire Sunday afternoon to song with local artists and Bluegrass. The church is organizing the inaugural Pickin’ in the Pavilion Music Festival Sunday. The morning will begin with a 9:30 a.m. worship “in word and in music” in the church’s newly opened pavilion. The pavilion was completed last year but not before temperatures became too cold to truly enjoy it. Peter calls the pavilion a “blessing” for the church and the surrounding communities. The church is still waiting for water and electric lines to be installed, but a fire pit is being built for the pavilion from the church’s Bob Kain Memorial Fund, donated by Sheryl Kain. Peter said he sees Pickin’ in the Pavilion as the kick-off to multiple summer events at the new church venue. A freewill donation lunch will follow worship on Sunday and the music starts at 11:30 a.m.
The bill includes Iowa-based bands Four Mile Creek, with banjoist Corwin “Corky” Berry of Monroe, and West Connection with lead singer Brenda Smith who grew up in the Prairie City Church of the Brethren. Born in Marengo, Berry credits his elementary school music teachers for encouraging his interest in singing. “I had what they thought was a good voice,” the 72-year-old said. Berry picked up his first banjo at 27 in a small Cedar Rapids music store called Hillburner’s. He was meeting with a group of musicians in a friend’s basement and he couldn’t believe the caliber of performers gathered in the small, modest room. “They said grab a six-pack of beer and come over. I went down into the basement and my mouth dropped. They were some of the best pickers in the eastern part of the state,” he said. “I got the bug.” He first came to Jasper County in 1974, and has been playing for Four Mile Creek for more than 30 years. The group recently returned from a Bluegrass Music Association of Iowa music festival in Hampton. Berry said highlighting local musicians is important for picker to picker networking and to make people aware of the talent in Prairie City, Monroe and Jasper County. “It’s always good to play with people who are in your neighborhood and in your county,”
Berry said. “You meet a mess of people you never knew. Festivals like the one Tim’s putting on introduces people to what we do. It’s a chance for us to play for neighbors and, hopefully, they like what we do.” Peter, who officiated Corwin and Jane Berry’s wedding years ago, said Pickin’ in the Pavilion will prove that Bluegrass lovers are abundant in the Prairie City area. “There’s a huge, huge following of bluegrass around here and a lot of pickers that will travel to festivals, so we thought why not bring them right here?” Peter said. Other local musicians will be filling in the gaps between the big-band sets. Local picker Jenny Anderson, who hosts old-time summer jam sessions at the Prairie City United Methodist Church, will play a number or two. Julia Sheehan, an artist, photographer and musician of Monroe, will also plays some tunes, and organizers will have an open mic for other local players to get on stage and pick an impromptu set. Peter said folks should bring their own lawn chairs and their favorite bluegrass instrument. “Typical of most bluegrass players, they’ll probably be pickin’ and grinnin’ and jammin’ for a while, and we’ll encourage that as well,” Peter said.

Questions rise over Bangladesh jailing 11,600 in crackdown NEW DELHI (AP) — Within six days of announcing a crackdown on Islamist militants, Bangladesh had filled its jailhouses with 11,600 new detainees in what seemed like an astonishing display of law enforcement might. The problem is, less than 2 percent of those picked up are suspected radicals, and not one is considered to be a high-level operative. The rest? Most are accused of petty crimes such as theft, burglary or small-time drug smuggling. At least 2,000 are members of the main opposition party, according to its spokesman, while others were believed to belong to a key ally of that party. Analysts, rights groups and opponents of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s secular government now question the crackdown. Was it truly an effort to stop a series of brazen, deadly attacks by Muslim extremists on various minorities, or an attempt to gain political advantage from the fear the killings have generated at home and abroad? Lisa Curtis, an expert on South Asia at the Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington, D.C., said a crackdown on extremists was needed. But given that only 177 of the thousands detained are actually suspected of radical militancy, according to police, she said that the dragnet will begin to look more like a tool to pressure the political opposition rather than a serious effort to stop the attacks.

Local & State News Pipeline Continued from Page 1A The contract approved by the Supervisors has several parts including notification regulations, signage requirements and traffic operations. To begin, Dakota Access agrees to contact the county engineer’s office 48 business hours prior to starting hauling operations. That time will allow the county to adequately inform the public of future work. The company will install and maintain warning signs at all sites to ensure all traffic control complies with Iowa Department of Transportation regulations. “Some of the locations do not have proper sight
distance so they are going to stock those areas and have flaggers at all of those locations anytime people are going in and out,” assistant to the engineer Pam Olson said. “They will also have advanced notification signage around as well. They are covering it very well.” The agreement includes the allowance of local traffic use of the road during hauling operations. Tools, equipment, materials, supplies, company vehicles or workers vehicles will not be allowed to park or be stored in the public right of way. To maintain the roads, Dakota Access has agreed to place 300 feet of dust palliative on all gravel approaches to intersections
www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | June 22, 2016 | 3A prior to hauling operations starting. It will also reshape roadways at the end of each day, if necessary, as judged by the engineer’s office. When hauling is completed, the roadways will be restored to pre-haul conditions including repairs to drainage structures, re-shaping the road top and replacing granular surfacing or damaged pavement. The agreement does not permit oversize or overweight vehicles and will not allow hauling operation to cross any structure with a posted weight restriction that is exceeded by the haul vehicle, except as otherwise authorized. Stutt said that Dakota Access would like to begin operations soon,
but it still has a few infrastructure needs to address. “They want to get going pretty quickly but it will be at least a few weeks because they haven’t started work on the entrances,” Stutt said. “To the best of my knowledge, they are going to start in the middle of the state, just north of Interstate 80 and work their way north. Then later they are going to begin from the south. They will have multiple crews across the state working together.” Exact times and places where work will be done in Jasper County are not yet known.

The commemorative set sells online for about $500. The Winter Dance Party Tour Scholarships — named for the ill-fated 1959 tour and plane crash and the attention it has drawn to Iowa’s rock history — go to high school seniors who plan to pursue a post-secondary education in a music-related field. There were, at one time, eight scholarships funded from a statewide pool, with applications accepted from all over the state. However, that’s been reduced to three school-specific scholarships in Spirit Lake, Clear Lake and Newton. Kate Wyre was Newton High’s 2016 winner. Farland will have a full Labor Day weekend. After helping get some other Iowa talent into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he will be one of this year’s inductees as a contributor. One of his efforts has been helping raise Winter Dance Party Scholarship money, which he’s done for almost 20 years. The program has raised close to $50,000 in scholarship money over the past 17 years, Farland said.

A little Hardee’s goes a long way G
www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | June 22, 2016
Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks
rowing up in the Washington, D.C. area in the 1970s and 80s, there were tons of fast-food choices. In fact, there were too many. When the Gino’s restaurant chain was sold to Roy Rogers, we noticed fried chicken on the menu before we picked up on the name change. Whether we would have a Hardee’s nearby was hardly a dilemma we pondered on a daily basis. We agonized over the new stoplights and traffic more than we thanked leaders for new businesses. Living in midwestern highway towns shows me a different existence. Much hinges upon whether city and county leaders can help develop new businesses in the area — whether that’s homegrown local flavor or familiar national or regional brands.
While I was surprised to hear and see so much enthusiasm for plans to bring a Hardee’s restaurant to Newton, I wasn’t surprised the reaction was positive. Not only does the chain do particularly well at creating tasty breakfast biscuit sandwiches and filling hamburgers, but also will bring in tax profits. Yes, we want local businesses, and, of course, we’d like to see every city with a large square to focus first on helping fill any empty storefronts in that square. It should aggravate any conscientious leader to see empty, highly visible buildings. The American system is not currently set up well to grow small businesses. Between regulations and paperwork, unfavorable loan situations and the lack of support most business owners receive in this climate, it’s no surprise so many Americans choose to feed their families by working for someone else — myself
included. However, an important element of “shop local” is this is set of civic goals as well as, in some cases, a daily choice. Cities need the tax support and highway traffic that Hardee’s can bring in — even if it’s on the same site where a business and many powerful family memories were made. Those memories can be made again in a new way if cities keep small businesses in mind as an ultimate goal. I don’t pretend to know enough about architecture or building safety to know why a paper-mâché-looking structure is solid after 150 years, while the sturdy-looking one next door is ready for the wrecking crew after only a few decades. I suppose money and attention to routine and major maintenance are important, but the uncontrollable factors range from weather to ground settling to what the neighbors are doing, so the useful life of each building seems to be based on a combination of diligence and luck. Since there are many people working strictly on bringing more economic development to the county, I hope it’s the
goal to have more locally owned businesses. At this point, every American community seems to need at least some help from larger companies based in faraway lands, but we should be gradually moving away from that. Let’s also remember how important crime and safety are with economics. Law enforcement’s recent re-iteration of “See something, say something” is an important component of maintaining a strong local business climate. The owner of a chain next to the interstate might appreciate a population that reports suspicious activity. A prospective owner of a business owner on the square has a very personal stake in preventing “Get to Know Newton” from being pronounced “Ghetto Know Newton” due to lack of citizen involvement. I support bringing more national or regional chains to the area as part of a mission to create more local commerce — even if the chain’s slogan used to be something as terrible as “Best eatin’ in town, up and down, all around.” Contact Jason W. Brooks at jbrooks@newtondailynews.com
American Conservative Ben Shapiro
Yes, it matters to say ‘radical Islam’ President Obama took to the microphones on Tuesday to rant about the great evil facing Western civilization: Donald Trump’s insistence that Obama use the phrase “radical Islam” in describing a radical Muslim’s killing of 49 Americans at a gay club in Orlando, Florida. Obama’s original comment on the attack consisted of some platitudes about gun control and some happy talk about “various extremist information that was disseminated over the internet.” You know, like in those rogue “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” chat rooms. After Trump slapped Obama for failing to use the phrase “radical Islam,” Obama, clearly disturbed, lashed out: “That’s the key, they tell us. We can’t beat ISIL unless we call them ‘radical Islamists.’ What exactly would using this label accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? The answer is: none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. This is a political distraction.” He added: “There is no magic to the phrase ‘radical Islam.’ It’s a political talking point; it’s not a strategy.” If it’s a political distraction, why not just do it? If it’s a talking point that bothers millions of Americans, why not just use it? If words mean nothing, why not just say them? Because Obama knows that the words “radical Islam” mean something. And he doesn’t like what they mean. The words “radical Islam” don’t mean — contrary to his straw man — that all Muslims are terrorists, or that Muslims will run to terrorism out of fear of the very term “radical Islam.” As Andrew McCarthy rightly points out on National Review: “our enemies despise us and do not judge themselves by how we talk about them. At best, they are indifferent to our language; otherwise, they are so hostile that they mock our ‘progressive’ obsession over it.” And the words “radical Islam” are not a substitute for strategy, obviously. Hillary Clinton said “radical Islamism” this week, and then said that she’d essentially maintain Obama’s Middle East strategy that led to the rise of ISIS and its regional growth and international spread. What the words “radical Islam” do say is that religious ideology matters — that certain world problems can’t be solved by appeal to transnational redistributionism or deliberate attempts to curb American power in favor of great equality among civilizations. Obama thinks that if he ignores the religious ideology of our enemies, they’ll come around so long as we pull back and then offer them material goods. That’s why his very own State Department suggested that ISIS be given jobs. But they won’t. That’s what the phrase “radical Islam” recognizes: The only way to bring people back from the brink is a religious transformation. And that’s a pretty serious problem, since people hold their religious beliefs far more closely than any other belief system. It means that it’s not enough for a few fringe Muslims to condemn terrorism. It means true reformation, of the sort proposed by Egyptian leader General Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, not wishful thinking about the current state of the Muslim world, which is replete with fundamentalism that provides impetus to radical Islamic movements. And that’s why Obama won’t say the phrase. To say it would be to recognize a problem he wishes didn’t exist, a problem that undercuts his entire worldview. And so more Americans will die. The left will babble on endlessly about Islamophobia and gun control while ignoring the only worthwhile goal in a war on radical Islam: the destruction of radical Islam itself.

bond will be voted for in September and if it doesn’t pass, in another six months the school board and committee will force it down our throats again, and again until passed at the cost of the taxpayer each time. I urge the current board and superintendent to exercise fiscal restraint and run the finances as they would their own, responsibly.
potential to spill nearly 1 million gallons per hour. Dakota Access bullied their way through our state’s review process and has begun to serve landowners condemnation papers, yet pipeline fighters across the state — farmers, environmentalists, property rights proponents, and members of faithbased communities — continue to stand together and oppose this toxic pipeline. On Saturday pipeline fighters will host a family-friendly day in Pilot Mound to protect the Des Moines River. Together, the group will call upon the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers to reject the pipeline permit currently under review. The public is invited to join in a float along the section of the river where Dakota Access has already begun to clear trees and wants to cross beneath the river and, afterwords, to gather at the Pilot Mound community center for food and fellowship. More information is at nobakken.com. Join us in standing on the right side of history to protect our water and our land on June 25. You will be in good company.

Hammer earns Eagle Scout status
Brandon Hammer, Boy Scout Troop 346, was given a couple of project options for his Eagle Scout Service Project after meeting with the Baxter City Council. He selected the project of locating the water shut-off valves around Baxter. After the F5 tornado struck Parkersburg, it was identified that being able to local the water valves at residential homes was a critical concern. In the event of a natural disaster, timing can be critical to local and shut off the water to avoid draining the towns water supply. Through Brandon’s Eagle Scout Service Project, they were able to local and mark 310 water shutoff valves. As you drive Photo through Baxter, look for the Brandon Hammer at his Submitted Eagle Scout blue marking on the curbs. Ceremony.

Woman can’t end office affair until she regains self-worth DEAR ABBY: I met “Edward” at work six years ago. We were instantly attracted to each other and soon began an affair. We are both married to others. I never thought I could stray outside my marriage, even though my marriage has been very lonely. I love Edward more than I ever thought possible, but even though he has strong feelings for me, he says he will never file for divorce from his wife. We are still involved, but I am heartbroken that he doesn’t want me enough to leave her. He has never said that he loves his wife, just that he doesn’t believe in divorce. I have never felt such a strong connection with anyone, ever! My head tells me to forget him, but my heart won’t allow it. I am so sad and depressed that I can’t function some days. How can I move past this man and regain my self-worth? — NEED TO MOVE FORWARD DEAR NEED TO MOVE FORWARD: You wrote that your lover has never said he loves his wife. You think he has strong feelings for you, but has he ever defined them as “love”? Has it occurred to you that what he “loves” may be his financial net worth, and THAT is the reason he will never divorce his wife? I don’t blame you for feeling sad and depressed. If I were you, I’d feel sad and depressed too. You have violated your own principles and are in a relationship that, much as you might wish it, will never bring you the validation you’re looking for. When you start liking yourself again, you may find that you need him less. And that is when you’ll end this affair and reconnect with your sense of self-worth, because as it stands, you cannot have both. DEAR ABBY: Our daughter came home for spring break from college with troubling news. She has been sexually harassed by a very large and aggressive lesbian in her dorm this year. When the girl first came on to her, my
daughter told her NO. Later, on two separate occasions, the girl pushed her to the floor and groped her in the lobby of the dorm. My daughter was afraid to fight the girl because she’s small. She was also afraid to report it — I guess she thought it was an isolated incident. Recently she found out that the girl has done the same thing to several other girls. They all went to the Title IX people on campus to file a complaint, but were told they won’t get any answers until late summer, which is after school is out. Is this kind of harassment common in our schools? Should she take it to the campus police or city police? Our daughter really likes her college, but she shouldn’t have to put up with this. — TROUBLING NEWS DEAR TROUBLING NEWS: I agree that your daughter — and the other girls — should not have to put up with being assaulted. I wish you had revealed a little bit more about what happened when the assaults were reported. Was the aggressor counseled? Warned to stay away from the girls she had harassed? Removed from the dorm? If nothing was done, before informing the police, I’m advising you to discuss this with a lawyer because a school that would ignore what happened may be liable.

city of Mount Union
MOUNT UNION — The city council in Mount Union voted to dissolve the tiny southeast Iowa city, giving residents 30 days to seek a special election or watch as the community officially disappears. The council acted Tuesday night to proceed with disincorporation. Unless enough residents sign a petition calling for a special election, the state will work with Henry County to eliminate Mount Union’s debts and sell its assets. The 100-person city is about 20 miles northwest of Burlington.
IOWA CITY — Some neighborhood residents want the City Council in Iowa City to bar construction of a house that would resemble the University of Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium. Reed and Sandy Carlson have filed building plans with the city for a nearly 7,500-square-foot house that would echo the 87-year-old stadium, complete with brick siding and a replica of the press box. The city attorney said the council doesn’t have authority to force changes.

Man gets life in prison for fatally shooting Minnesotan WATERLOO — A 37-year-old man has been given life in an Iowa prison for killing a Minnesota man outside a nightclub in Waterloo. Rodolfo Gonzalez was sentenced Monday in Black Hawk County District Court. He’d been convicted of shooting to death 35-year-old Celio Posada, of Minneapolis, in August 2014. Posada was found in a nightclub parking lot with two gunshot wounds.
Iowa to fight moths
DES MOINES — Residents of two eastern Iowa counties may notice low-flying airplanes next week as officials work to slow the spread of the gypsy moth. The Iowa Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday that planes would fly June 27 or 28 over wooded areas in Allamakee and Jackson counties to release pheromone flakes. The flakes, which disrupt the ability of male gypsy moths to find female gypsy moths and reproduce, will be dropped over a total of 13,520 acres at three sites.

Four things to know from June’s Newton Wellness Coalition meeting By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News
AP Photo Construction crew members work to rebuild Walnut Street in downtown Des Moines. Des Moines and Minneapolis are seeing tremendous downtown development, but both also have pockets of the city core that are strangely quiet. One reason is the walkways that pass overhead, enabling workers and residents to stay in cozy skywalks and off city streets.
Cities face new urban problem: their own skywalks By Scott McFredridge The Associated Press DES MOINES — In a city where cranes and construction barriers mark a surge in new downtown apartments, hotels and offices, the sidewalks in Des Moines’ core can be strangely quiet. The reason is about 20 feet overhead, where bridges link a climate-controlled skywalk system that snakes through nearly four miles of downtown. When the skywalk was built in the 1970s, the idea was to protect office workers from the frigid winters in Iowa’s largest city and encourage businesses to resist the pull to suburban office parks. It was an instant success. But one era’s brainstorm has become the next generation’s headache as cities are now desperate to add life to downtown. For them, the question is how to create lively streets when no one walks outside anymore. Across the country, a debate is growing over what to do with the cozy corridors, bridges and tun-
nels that have helped create urban ghost towns. Cincinnati decided to dismantle half its 1-mile-plus system and Baltimore has taken down seven bridges, with plans to remove two more, to push people back onto the streets. Minneapolis, which is spending $50 million to overhaul its glitzy Nicollet Mall downtown, is being urged by some residents to do the same. Spokane, Washington, which has one the most extensive systems, is turning away from any further expansion. It’s an excruciating choice, giving up on something because it has become too effective. “I’d get rid of them if we could, but we could never do it,� said Erin Olson-Douglas, a city planner in Des Moines, which wants a vibrant center city to keep its young workers from moving somewhere livelier. Skywalks have joined pedestrian malls, downtown parking garages and new traffic patterns as the latest downtown experiment to achieve mixed or unintended results over the years.

While cities were flailing with new strategies, young people and baby boomers suddenly rediscovered urban living and provided new hope — but mostly for places with a lively atmosphere. Tom Murphy, an urban revitalization expert and former mayor of Pittsburgh, said holding onto those young workers is essential because they’re highly sought by employers. “For our history, it was always that people went where the jobs were,� Murphy said. “For the first time, we are now watching as jobs go where the people are.� Thus, Des Moines’ dilemma. The city initially spent about $12 million in public money on its skywalks, with private landowners contributing an equal amount, and succeeded in keeping 75,000 jobs downtown. Now, seeking a lively scene, the city is spending $4.5 million to rebuild Walnut Street, a shopping district that long ago was packed with shoppers but, thanks in part to the skywalks, is usually deserted.

Nebraska man kidnaps female, flees from police BLENCOE (AP) — A Nebraska man faces multiple charges after authorities say he kidnapped a woman and fled from police. Lamonte Bertucci, 26, of Macy, Nebraska, is charged with willful injury, second-degree kidnapping, assault while participating in a felony, assault on a jailer and several traffic violations. The Macy Police Department contacted the Monona County Sheriff ’s Office in Iowa on Saturday, saying its officers were pursuing a vehicle heading east on Highway 175. The driver failed to stop and seemed to be holding a female passenger as she tried to escape the vehicle. Speeds reached 100 mph after deputies joined the pursuit southbound on Interstate 29. Officers arrested Bertucci when the vehicle stopped south of Blencoe, Iowa. The woman was taken to a hospital with injuries.

Local & State News Newton Main Street awarded Window Display grant 8A |
Newton Daily News Main Street Iowa has awarded Newton Main Street a grant of technical assistance for Window Display and Visual Merchandising. Newton Main Street was one of 12 Main Street programs in Iowa to receive the award through a competitive selection process. The technical assistance grant includes a 60-minute instructional seminar, one-on-one consultations with Main Street District businesses (as time allows) and plan, design and implementation of window displays or other visual
merchandising improvements in three Main Street District retail businesses. “Window displays can serve as major traffic drivers for any business,” according to an informational sheet distributed by Anna Woodward, the consultant Main Street Iowa contracted with to provide the technical assistance. “This initial perception often helps determine the customer’s expected product quality, price point expectations and can be the number one determinant on whether or not they walk in the door,” Woodward said.
Newton Main Street will host Woodward on July 27. The instructional seminar features interactive activities and a graphics-oriented presentation. The seminar is open to the public with limited space available and preference given to Main Street District retail businesses. The three retailers implementing a design that day will meet with Woodward to develop a vision. Newton Main Street volunteers will be on hand to assist with installation. Each participating business must commit to a minimum $50 project implementa-

DES MOINES — A Republican congressman is trying to block the Treasury from redesigning U.S. currency, a move that could prevent the government from replacing Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill with abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Rep. Steve King of Iowa has offered an amendment to a King spending bill barring the use of funds to redesign any Federal Reserve note or coin. It wasn’t immediately clear why King opposed the redesign, and his office did not immediately respond to messages. Under plans announced in April by Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, Tubman would replace Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill. The abolitionist and former slave who was a leader of the Underground Railroad will become the first African-American featured on U.S. paper currency and the first woman on paper currency in a century.
Andrew Jackson, the nation’s seventh president, will be moved to the back of the $20 bill, which will also retain an image of the White House on the back. Alexander Hamilton’s portrait will remain on the front of the $10 bill. The back, which now features the Treasury building in Washington, will be redesigned to commemorate a 1913 suffragette march and feature famous suffragette leaders including Susan B. Anthony. The $5 bill will retain Abraham Lincoln on the front. The back, which now features the Lincoln Memorial, will be redesigned to include important civil rights events at the memorial including Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech and a 1939 concert by African-American opera singer Marian Anderson. King is a conservative Republican known for his outspoken criticism of U.S. immigration policy. His Democratic opponent in Iowa, Kim Weaver, said it’s “a headline-grabbing piece of stunt legislation.” “And what chance does this meaningless and mean-spirited gesture have of actually passing? Just like most measures introduced by Steve King, none,” she said.
Scam Alert: Phone scam circulating throughout Iowa Newton Daily News DES MOINES — MidAmerican Energy Company is warning the public of a phone scam targeting energy customers in Iowa. Today, nearly 40 MidAmerican Energy customers reported receiving a call from someone claiming to work for MidAmerican Energy and threatening to disconnect service in exchange for payment. The scams are widespread, targeting customers in the areas of Daven-

*
port, Sioux City, Des Moines, Waterloo, Fort Dodge and Oskaloosa. The scam typically works like this: the scammer tells the potential victim that they owe money and that if they don’t immediately pay, their service will be disconnected. Often, they require that the person pay with a pre-paid debit card, sometimes referred to as a Green Dot card. This is a red flag: MidAmerican Energy does not accept prepaid (Green Dot) cards as a way to pay your bill.
The scammers are persistent and use sophisticated methods to trick customers, including Caller ID technology and a phone response system that mimics MidAmerican Energy’s, making the call appear as if it is coming from the company when it is not. If you get a suspicious call, hang up and call your local police and MidAmerican Energy at 1-888-427-5632. Three tips to recognize a scam call 1. The caller is threaten-

ing immediate disconnection. Sometimes the caller will claim a crew is already en route to the business to disconnect service. Customers should hang up immediately and call MidAmerican Energy at 1-888-427-5632. MidAmerican Energy makes several attempts to contact customers regarding overdue bills; disconnection is a last resort, not a first step in the process. 2. The caller insists on a prepaid debit card (often a Green Dot card) as the only
acceptable form of payment. MidAmerican Energy does not accept prepaid debit (Green Dot) cards as a form of payment; a company customer service representative can go over payment options with you. 3. The caller asks for credit card numbers, account numbers, balances or other personal information. MidAmerican Energy will not ask you for this information over the phone. Never give out financial or personal information.

House Republicans offering proposals for health care changes WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are unveiling new proposals to repeal and replace President Barack Obama’s health care law, as Speaker Paul Ryan sought to showcase a GOP governing agenda amid the tumult of the presidential campaign. The plan, revealed Wednesday, relies on individual tax credits to allow people to buy coverage from private insurers, and includes other largely familiar GOP ideas such as medical liability reform and expanding access to health savings accounts. It proposes putting $25 billion behind high-risk pools for people with pre-existing conditions and for others, and transforming the federal-state Medicaid program for the poor by turning it into state block grants or individual per-capita allotments to hold down spending. But the 37-page white paper falls short of a full-scale replacement proposal for “Obamacare” and leaves key questions unanswered, including the cost of the tax credits, the overall price tag of the plan, and how many people would be covered. Republican aides said it’s intended as an overall roadmap showing how the GOP would approach undoing and replacing Obama’s health law with a Republican in the White House, and specific legislative details would be answered as the

actual bills are written next year. As such it is an aspirational document like the rest of Ryan’s “Better Way” agenda, a six-topic blueprint that the speaker has been rolling out this month at carefully choreographed events that have been getting largely overshadowed by the latest Donald Trump campaign controversy. Ryan was to present his health care proposals alongside several House chairmen Wednesday afternoon at the American Enter-
prise Institute, and a tax plan was coming Friday. The House GOP health care plan comes six years after the Affordable Care Act became law, requiring nearly all Americans to carry health insurance and employers to offer it. The law’s mandates and tax increases have stoked endless controversy and opposition from the GOP, yet the number of uninsured people has dropped by about 20 million people to historic lows.
Stocks rise with 1 day to go before British vote on EU MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Global stocks mostly rose Wednesday a day before Britain’s vote on whether to remain in the European Union, and after U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said the central bank will remain cautious in raising interest rates. Britain’s FTSE 100 was up 0.5 percent to 6,259 and Germany’s DAX was 0.7 percent higher at 10,082. France’s CAC 40 rose 0.5 percent to 4,388. U.S. futures indicat-

ed small gains on Wall Street, with S&P 500 and Dow futures each up 0.1 percent. Campaigners on both sides of Thursday’s crucial vote on whether Britain should remain in the EU began the final frantic day of campaigning. Polls indicate it will be a tight race but bookies are giving the “remain” camp a higher probability of winning. Many voters remain undecided and bookies and investors appear to be betting that they will settle for the status quo.
International experts, including Yellen, have said that a British exit would cause a lot of volatility in global markets and uncertainty for the world economy. “With the ‘undecided’ vote still at a significant level, the swing factor to either side continues to remain a real possibility,” said Nicholas Teo, trading strategist at KGI Fraser Securities. “With the outcome still too close to call, traders have taken big bets off the table, riding only on small po-
sitions leftover.” Benchmark U.S. crude fell 42 cents to $48.95 a barrel in New York. On Tuesday, it fell 52 cents. Brent crude, the benchmark for international oil prices, was up 26 cents at $51.51 a barrel in London. On Tuesday, it slipped 3 cents. The dollar fell to 104.62 yen from 104.76 yen the previous day. The euro rose to $1.1298 from $1.1251 on Tuesday. The pound continued to rise, to $1.4687 from $1.4650.

Newton softball given home game, bye in regional tourney By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News
Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball coach Troy Houge speaks with members of his team in the circle during a Heart of Iowa Conference game against Greene County on Friday. The Collins-Maxwell school board voted unanimously Monday to end its whole grade sharing talks with Baxter High School. That decision also could ultimately bring an end to the CMB athletic sharing agreement.
C-M school board votes to end WGS talk with Baxter What does that mean for CMB athletics? By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News
Collins-Maxwell/Baxter Athletic Director Lori Fricke got some surprising news after the Raider softball team shut out North Polk on Monday night. Fricke, who is serving as an assistant for this year’s softball team, began receiving text messages about a decision the Collins-Maxwell Board of Education made earlier that night. The C-M school board voted unanimously to end all conversations about whole grade sharing with Baxter High School. When Fricke first learned of the decision, she needed just one word to describe her feelings. “Shocked. I was completely baffled with the de-
cision,” Fricke said. “It definitely caught me off guard. I stopped by Collins-Maxwell High School before the softball game, and I wasn’t told anything about it.” The decision to end whole grade sharing talks with Baxter by Collins-Maxwell could ultimately lead to the termination of CMB athletics. Baxter’s school board said at their most recent meeting that if it couldn’t work out a whole grade sharing agreement with Collins-Maxwell that it would find an athletic partner elsewhere or stand alone by itself. “Our school board still has to make a decision, but I would be shocked if they don’t now vote to end the athletic sharing agreement with Baxter,” CMB High
School Principal and football coach Rob Luther said. “The Baxter school board gave C-M a little more time to figure some stuff out and this decision is kind of a slap in the face. I don’t know what C-M will do now, but this is a decision its board made.” While Fricke was shocked at the decision, Luther wasn’t completely confident that the positive steps made by both school boards would end in whole grade sharing between the two schools. “I was a little surprised but not shocked,” Luther said. “I was a little more on the pessimistic side of things. Every step forward that both sides take, we take two steps back soon after. Right now, we are so far back that we can’t see
the finish line.” Collins-Maxwell and Baxter last year agreed to two more years of athletic sharing. That agreement runs through next summer. Collins-Maxwell Board of Education President Bryce Caple said while the school board has no interest in whole grade sharing at this time, it does still want to continue the athletic sharing agreement. “The decision to end whole grade sharing talks boiled down to the fact that we were told we would lose 15-20 percent of our students if we went through with whole grade sharing,” Caple said. “That’s between $400,000-$500,000 that we would lose. That would cripple us.” CMB | 6B
Ranked Rockets end C-M softball’s win streak By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News EDDYVILLE — The Colfax-Mingo softball team was looking for its third win over a Class 2A ranked team this season Tuesday, but the Tigerhawks ran into a buzz saw. Colfax-Mingo stayed with Class 2A No. 7 Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont for two innings, but the red-hot Rockets had three big innings in the game and cruised to the 13-7 home triumph. Tigerhawk junior Amy Russell hit her fourth home run of the season and added a double at the plate, but E-B-F won its 10th straight game by plating five in the first, three in the third and fourth in the fifth. Russell finished with three hits, two runs and four RBIs in the loss, while sophomore Ries Wilson had three hits and two hits. Junior Alivia Haley had two runs and two hits, sophomore Rhiannon Haley collected two hits, two RBIs and scored one run and freshman Chelsea Russell recorded two hits and had one RBI. Freshman Colbee Cunningham started in the cir-
The Newton softball team has three wins over ranked foes and is off to one of its best starts in recent memory. For its efforts, the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union has awarded the Class 4A No. 13 Cardinals with a first-round bye in the 4A Region 2 tournament next month. They also will play at least one game at Berg Middle School. Newton will play the winner of No. 15 Boone (17-6) and Webster City (814) in the regional semifinals at 7 p.m. SOFTBALL | 6B
Grant steps down as Tigerhawk girls basketball coach By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News After guiding the Colfax-Mingo girls basketball team for the past three seasons, Michelle Grant has decided to step down. The Colfax-Mingo Board of Education approved the resignation of Grant as girls basketball coach during its monthly meeting on Monday. Grant’s decision to step down directly involved a teaching promotion. “I took over the high school band, so now Grant I’m the 7-12 band/vocal director and the only music director in our building,” Grant said. “Coaching in the winter will be difficult will the added responsibility,” Grant will remain as Colfax-Mingo’s volleyball coach. She has been in that role for the past two seasons after spending two seasons as the junior high volleyball coach. Zach Tomas, who takes over as activities director at Colfax-Mingo in July, said the position will be posted online now that the board has approved the resignation. “We will certainly miss Coach Grant in that role but understand her concern for time commitments as her teaching duties change,” Tomas said. “Our next coach is taking the reigns of a team that has a lot of talent and is trending upwards.” Contact Troy Hyde at 641-792-3121 ext. 6536 or thyde@newtondailynews.com
Ray Kasongo joins Iowa State from Tennessee

AMES (AP) — Iowa State coach Steve Prohm says Tennessee transfer Ray Kasongo has joined the program. Kasongo, a 6-foot-8, 245-pound forward from Toronto, will sit out next season per NCAA transfer rules. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Kasongo played in 22 games for the Volunteers last season, averaging 1.4 points and 1.5 rebounds after transferring from the College of Southern Idaho. Kasongo will give the Cyclones some much-needed size once he becomes eligible. Iowa State recently signed a pair of one-year graduate transfers, Merrill Holden and Darrell Bowie, as fill-ins following the graduations of Georges Niang and Jameel McKay.

Roots are, by nature, a complicated network of spindly cells forming separate tendrils reaching into the earth to get what they need for the whole entity to live. It’s harder for the roots. So many obstacles to work around while branches and flowers need only to turn up and find the sun.

strong and spiritually generous in this solar cycle. Your financial breakthrough will be in August. Love is the feature in September and the other person is going all in. Pisces and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 29, 3, 9 and 14. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You feel driven to create, give your opinion, make something they might buy. It’s a gamble, but today the odds are in your favor. Play them and cash in. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While scrutinizing the possible directions your life could take in the future, you’ll be joined
Find a new one in the classifieds!
Check the Newton Daily News & Jasper County Advertiser or online at www.newtondailynews.com. by flashes of memory, mentors from the past, ghosts to guide you on. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Do you believe in telepathy? You could have a most unusual psychic experience today, as unexplainable as it is personal. At the very least, this is a sign of how connected you are to someone or to your higher guidance. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Delegate when necessary -- and when not necessary. If you don’t start giving away some of these tasks now, they will build up and build up until the hundreds of tiny tasks you’re doing cause you to topple. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There
is very little that’s really ours in this world. Let things come and go. If it’s yours, it’s yours for good: It can’t be taken from you, won’t leave you, and even if you forsake it, sell it or abuse it, you’ll somehow get it back.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Interesting people cross your path every day. You don’t know how interesting, of course, until you get to know them. The physicality often lies. Go deeper.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Is there secret information being passed back and forth between people on different ranks and in different networks? The tinge of paranoia isn’t for nothing. Take it as a sign to pay attention.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Contrarians will be challenged: Are they being stubborn because the idea or request is something to be strongly disagreed with, or is this resistance a general attitude of stubbornness?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t let your euphoria over the happy resolution of one situation keep you from the reality of dealing with another situation. Face it; deal. Face it; deal. That’s the way this day will go.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The rules for time travelers will apply: If it makes someone happy or changes the course of a person, including you, or does anything at all to alter the timeline, it matters significantly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The scene change has nothing to do with you, at first, except that your entrance is coming. Now, should you move and decide or should you pause and feel your way through it? The second will work today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A very astute observer might read your mood and respond accordingly, but unfortunately, such people may not be populating your midst today, so prepare to deal with a mismatch of tones.

Carpenter, Holliday homer Errors plague PCM in Cardinals win over Cubs in lost to Comets CHICAGO (AP) — Adam Wainwright called the most recent homestand a reality check for St. Louis. He’s not quite ready to call this a turning point for the Cardinals. Matt Carpenter and Matt Holliday homered to back Wainwright, and St. Louis beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Tuesday night. The Cardinals won their second straight game after going 0-5 on their first winless homestand of at least two series since 1983. The Cardinals made it consecutive one-run wins over the Cubs after three straight one-run losses to Texas. And while Wainwright called it an “overstatement” to “say this is a statement series,” there are certainly some promising signs coming from St. Louis.
Carpenter and Holliday connected against Jason Hammel (7-3) in a three-run third inning that made it 4-1. Wainwright (6-4) pitched into the seventh and improved to 10-1 in 21 games — 16 starts — at Wrigley Field. The Cardinals put themselves in position to sweep their first trip to Chicago since last year’s NL Division Series, though it won’t be easy with the major league-leading Cubs sending reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta to the mound. Chris Coghlan scored two runs for Chicago, whose longest losing streak is three games. The only other time the Chicago Cubs dropped two straight at home was when San Diego swept a doubleheader on May 11.
By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ALLEMAN — After waiting out a weather delay for a little more than an hour, the Prairie City-Monroe baseball team lost a competitive game against North Polk on Tuesday. The Comets jumped out to a 5-0 Cooper lead but needed a pair of runs in the sixth inning to win its fourth straight during an 8-6 home win over the Mustangs. PCM (7-14) dropped to 5-7 in Heart of Iowa Confer-
ence play. The Mustangs have lost three straight games and six of their last seven. Senior Clay Cooper had two hits, one walk and two RBIs while scoring a run. Sophomore Noah Henkenius and freshman Brayton Van Dyke each finished one hit, one run and one walk. Henkenius started on the mound and took the loss after allowing four earned runs and seven hits in five innings. North Polk (11-6, 6-3) won its fourth straight game. PCM hosts Collins-Maxwell/Baxter at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Prairie City-Monroe. Contact Troy Hyde at 641-792-3121 ext. 6536 or thyde@newtondailynews.com

Cavaliers ready to parade city as champions CLEVELAND (AP) — While playing in Miami, LeBron James regretted not winning an NBA title in Cleveland. “I wish I could have won one there,” he told the AP in 2012 before a practice with the U.S. Olympic team at the London Games. “I could only imagine how the parade
would have been down East 9th Street.” He’s about to find out. Cleveland is throwing a parade that’s been on hold for 52 years. On Wednesday, hundreds of thousands of fans are expected to line downtown streets to celebrate James and the Cavaliers winning the
NBA title and giving the city its first major professional sports championship since 1964. The city will be well prepared, and the large crowd will serve as a dress rehearsal for next month’s Republican National Convention, which will be held at Quicken Loans now undergoing a makeover.
CMB
CMB will likely be untouched through next season. The two-year rotation in football would be affected in the second year, but Fricke said Baxter has the co-op with that sport. “There are several options for us with football,” Fricke said. “Baxter has the co-op agreement for that sport so we could decide to play 2A football as a 1A school if we wanted to.” Fricke has ties to both school districts. She is a 1988 graduate of Collins-Maxwell. She and her husband Todd Fricke were seniors the year CMB began its athletic sharing agreement. They had siblings who followed them through CMB and they have three children who were part of the Raider family. “CMB has a whole different meaning for us,” said Fricke, who teaches at Baxter but is now the only CMB athletic director. “It’s very sad for me personally. I truly don’t know where this recently went wrong. C-M told Baxter that they had to whole grade share with someone and they said Baxter was the option. It looked like 2018 was going to be the first year.” Luther, who also graduated from Collins-Maxwell, said Collins-Maxwell and Baxter have never shared a single staff member in his 20 years of being associated with CMB. “When Collins-Maxwell looks into sharing staff members, they always look elsewhere,” Luther said. “That’s where my frustration is. “I knew from the beginning of this whole situation that it was going to be a tough battle with the high school location. We need to find a way to get
out of our comfort zone.” Luther said the Baxter School Board met Monday night but did not become aware of Collins-Maxwell’s decision to end whole grade sharing talks until after its monthly meeting. “I think the Baxter board wanted to meet sooner to discuss this matter but decided to hold off until next month’s meeting because of the McWhirter funeral and because (Superintendent) Todd Martin just went on vacation,” he said. Luther fully expects Baxter’s school board to decide to end the athletic sharing agreement when the current deal ends next summer. That will no doubt have an effect on next year’s athletic teams. “It will be a tough year for our athletes, but we’ll get through it,” Luther said. “We have some resilient kids.” CMB’s softball team is currently 16-6 and ranked 12th in 3A. Head coach Troy Houge, a physical education teacher at Collins-Maxwell, spoke with his team during Tuesday’s practice about the decision made by the C-M school board. “I told them that we need to play for the now and stay out of this situation as much as possible,” Houge said. “We can do some great things this year, but we have to stay focused. “This situation is a mess. Everyone on both sides has made mistakes. We need a long-term solution.”
Continued from Page 1B Caple said families who open enroll to Collins-Maxwell told the school board they would open enroll somewhere else if they went the whole grade sharing route and families on the outskirts of town said they would choose to go to a neighboring school. All five Collins-Maxwell school board members voted to end whole grade sharing talks with Baxter. Those same five also all voted to continue the athletic sharing agreement with Baxter. “This was the toughest decision that our board has had to make,” Caple said. “We realize that Baxter said they would terminate the sports sharing agreement if we don’t whole grade share. We are still in hopes that they reconsider that decision.” CMB currently plays in the Heart of Iowa Conference with mostly Class 2A and 3A schools. If the two communities decide to break off athletically, Collins-Maxwell and Baxter will both likely be 1A schools. Luther doesn’t know what the plan for Baxter moving forward would be, but he feels like the school itself could stand a lone for several years down the road. “We are plus 100 in open enrollments and are secure financially,” Luther said. “We can be by ourselves for awhile. We would need to address the athletic situation though.” Fricke said schedules for next season are pretty much done in all sports statewide.
